Seikou Kiln Yoshidaya Hibiscus Kutani Rectangle Plate
The gorgeous large Japanese plate features hibiscus painted in the entire plate. The blooming large yellow hibiscus and spreading green leaves create a beautiful contrast.
The clear and deep colors came from Japanese paints developed by Seikou kiln, the leading stoneware of Kutani ware.
It is hand-painted by brush, using Japanese paint called "Wa-enogu" which is one of the remarkable features of Kutani ware, as you can see the painted part is slightly thickened.
The large plate (32 cm) is perfect for serving appetizers, the side dish, and main dish. It can be used as a decorative art, looks great with a stand sold separately.
It is highly recommended as a gift for yourself or someone who loves Japanese art and culture.
